When & How did you make your 1st Dollar$$ Online?

The first part of that story is nice and when your young its such a thrill because any money is good money. Now of course its a cut throat business most of the time. QUOTE=jimmyisso;7448351]I made a website when I was about 13 or 14 for all of me and my skateboarding friends. We had our pics and videos, trick tips, etc on the site. I mass emailed skateboarding clothing companies with a simple template that I made claiming that I received a bunch of visitors (which I really didn't). This was about 13 years ago and companies didn't really ask for proof like they would now. They ended up sending me free clothes, skateboards, stickers and I was able to give my skate friends free skateboards and stuff like that. All I had to do in exchange was post their banners on my site and review some of their products.

Those were the days! After that, I sold my first beats online via SoundClick about 8 years ago and made $50 for a beat lease (I was super stoked) and I did that for a few years until the beat market got flooded with producers and MySpace died out, that was my main source of traffic to sell beats as well as my own custom designed website. Now I'm trying to find a new way to make money online since my job market is pretty much non-existent where I live and outsourcing to India has made it hard to do online freelancing.[/QUOTE]
 
Yeah jobs that don't require to much work tend to go to India or somewhere else but when an important job is needed done they will want the U.S. people or at least clear English speaking.

I currently freelance on oDesk and yes the people from India are taking over but if you find clients in the United States / Canada or even Australia you will be more likely to win the bid for the job since they are wanting work done by a native so it is easier for them to communicate along with time zones etc. I started using oDesk less than 2 weeks ago and made over $200 at this point with a couple hours of work (less than 8...) you just have to find the right clients. I am guessing that is why they give you 20 bids a week and if you are declined or take back your bid they give it back to you.

My rate on bids is about 1 hire for every 5-7 bids that I put in... so in a week I can complete 3-4 jobs for $50+ if I have the time.

That's awesome! I always wanted to do that and sell my own beats but instead I ended up making them and then just using them to promote a beat making software. It had me making over $200 every 2 weeks at the hight.

In 2009 I was using ShareCash and making fake Lo ckerz Invite Generators and made 2k in 2 months. It was awesome.
 
Mine was $10 for editing a 2-minute video, that was late January or early Feb of 2013.
 
Nice. You can actually make a nice income with adsense if you go after the right markets. It's really just a rinse and repeat kind of thing and you can steadily keep building your income.

I made my first 0.06€ in 2012 with an adsense site that I was trying to rank in Google. It was a site about motivational quotes. The site made total of under 100€ I think before it fell off the first page. To this date it is my second most profitable adsense site I have had :D

I got my first money by selling gold in world of warcraft :D
 
Doing that now. And I'm telling buyers that they're "unauthorized" reps and they still buy because quality is as good as or, in some cases (their opinion) BETTER than retail authentic schtuff!

Would really like to get into white hat products but tough to give up that profit margin. :''(

I earned my first $10 online back in 2007 when I designed a logo.
 
I earned my first dollar when I was 14 years old, uploading pirated movies and games to warez website and posting them on warez forums/websites. It was dull copy/paste work, but I still can remember the feeling when I entered my dashboard and saw that I made $8 in one day :) Good old days, I spent everything on World of Warcraft and weed.
 
I've tried the survey thing a few times in the past and made about $50 bucks total I think.
